Cloudworks Limitations for a global scale deployment

yandapalli_akhil

Hi Guys,

I am new to Anaplan Integration. We want to create a standardized design for a deployment which has multiple models based on regions. In the Community it is mentioned that we can have only 500 integrations per tenant is there anyway to increase them.

And also are there any limitations for cloudworks if we want to deploy it in a global scale.

Thanks in advance

Hey @yandapalli_akhil - CloudWorks can be a real game changer for organization that seek to have end to end business driven modeling. In my experience integrations were always the stumbling block that required more coordination between those who own the planning models and the more traditional technology functions (aka IT department).

However, there are likely many considerations when determining the right tool for the job. The 500 limit is certainly one, if you anticipate the need for more than 500 integration calls then in current state this won't be the right choice for you

. I'll share a few of my other observations that may help you in your assessment.

Contemplate the target and source systems as only certain connections are supported. Checkout this decision support app the OEG created to guide that process:

OEG Best Practice: Data integration decision app

We built this app to make getting started on your Anaplan data integration journey simple with a quick questionnaire and helpful information and links.

A common question that arises during Anaplan implementations (or even after go-live) is "How can I automate data feeds into and out of Anaplan?" While the ultimate decision tends to be a nuanced one dependent on individual customer requirements, we have found it is useful to at least qualify the solutions with some simple questions. 

A few notes: If you do not see your enterprise system listed, please submit a recommendation at the bottom of the app. If you click on a row in the table the personas below will refresh, showing you who is typically involved when implementing that particular data integration solution.

Please let us know your thoughts in the comments. This app will be a work in progress and we'd love to hear from the community.

Security may also be a factor - you will need to understand your companies policies around opening access to their cloud instance as well as the Anaplan tenant role strategy. In Anaplan, the Security Admin is a tenant role that givens you access to setup and edit Cloudworks security, while there is a "restricted" role available this it may not be optimally suited to your CoE's operating structure.

One final point to consider is your appetite to await further platform releases to improve the security admin experience. There are tons of ideas in the Exchange regarding ways to improve the admin process including simply things like folders/categories, easy filtering/sorting to isolate certain workspaces, etc.
